Norway terrorist isn't a true Christian

I wholeheartedly disagree with Mr. Shaffer in his letter (Aug. 1). He is skewing history. Yes, the man in Norway was believed to be a "right-wing Christian fundamentalist" but does that mean all Christians are that way?

His statement certainly seems to indicate that he is willing to believe that "bad apple" is representative of what Christianity is and stands for. If he reads the Bible, he would know that Christ condemns such acts of violence and hatred. To put it another way, are all Muslims terrorists simply because the 9/11 attackers were Muslims? Of course not.

Also, many of our Founding Fathers were Christians or Deists and many of them had Christian-Judeo ideas when they formed our Constitution.

The three branches of government were the result of one of the Founding Fathers reading a chapter in Isaiah where it refers to God as ruler (executive branch) lawmaker (Legislative) and judge (Judicial branch). So consequently, I think he is being blinded to the same closed-mindedness that he accuses Christians and conservatives of. But when you skew the facts you often come out with the wrong conclusion.
